Laura won three AMG Awards: Video, Album and Female Vocalist of the Year!

On November 10, at a ceremony in Monroe, NC, hosted by Thelma Houston and taped for national broadcast, Laura Ainsworth was honored with three Artists Music Guild Heritage Awards out of five nominations.

She received the awards for Album of the Year (New Vintage), Video of the Year ("That's How I Got My Start") and Female Vocalist of the Year. AMG founder and multi-award-winning Christian music artist David L. Cook quipped that it was "the year of Laura Ainsworth!"

Laura wishes to express her deepest thanks to the AMG, a non-profit group dedicated to mentoring indie artists and supporting music education for kids. The AMG Heritage Awards are chosen by industry professionals from samples submitted by nominees, with results based solely on qualify of music, not fame, promo budget or major label affiliation, which makes the awards even more meaningful.

Award-Winning New Music Now Available!

Laura's acclaimed new album New Vintage debuted with a special solo show at New York’s elegant Metropolitan Room, a guest spot in the Indie Collaborative showcase at the world-famous Bitter End, a profile in the Bible of Jazz, Downbeat magazine, and a spot on JazzWeek's Top 20 Most-Added Albums chart! New Vintage earned Laura five nominations each in the Josie Music Awards and the Artists Music Guild Heritage Awards…three Global Music Awards Bronze Medals, for Best Female Jazz and Retro/Easy Listening Artist and Best Easy Listening Performance (“Where Did The Magic Go”)…The Clousine International Music Award for Best Jazz Album (Spring 2018)…And a “Best of the Best of 2017” honor from the internationally-syndicated radio/Internet show, “Cocktail Nation”.

Presenting a new video for “Where Did The Magic Go,” a wonderful song that beautifully summarizes Laura’s idea of “New Vintage,” from her album of that name. Originally recorded by Tony Bennett, the lyricist gave Laura permission to change it slightly so that instead of being about someone who lived through those great years of elegant entertainment, it’s about someone who wants to bring them back (she also included a special tribute to her big band genius dad, who formed her out-of-time musical tastes – see if you can spot it!). How many of her icons can you recognize? And be sure to watch to the very end for a special surprise!

To be notified of new videos, music, shows and more, join Laura’s spam-free fan email list. Just for signing up, you will receive a free MP3 of an Irving Berlin classic not available on any of her albums! Just send an email to webmaster@lauraainsworth.com with “Subscribe” in the subject line.

This song won Laura the Global Music Awards Bronze Medal for Best Easy Listening Performance.
